Good Evening. I missed some time, yes. I got busy with life, but I hope to be back on track. Without further ado, here's what has happened over the past couple of weeks:

Achievements

I've been slowly working my way through Camp NaNoWriMo this month. I fell of the wagon pretty hard after four days, but with my low word count goal, it has been fairly easy to make up the lost time. I think I'll be able to finish within goal.

I did a reading at my writing group two weeks ago. I got positive comments all around, which surprised me, because I was pretty sure that the best thing I could bring to the table was mediocre. I'm still not ready to accept positive feedback. That's the weirdest thing with me. I will absolutely accept criticism without fail, but give me a compliment, and I'm sure you're "just being nice."

Goals

Pretty much the same as they have been. I'm trying to just get myself on a baseline of competence before trying anything new.

Continue to write for NaNoWriMo. In addition to reaching my word count, I would at least like to have a basic rough outline of what this story is about, whether it goes beyond an outline or not.

Started on Camp NaNoWriMo yesterday. I have a ridiculously low word count goal, so I'm pretty much on track two days in. The important thing is that I did write for two days in a row.

Wrote two (three if you count this one) new blog posts this week. Woo Hoo for me.

I did read, but I definitely need better reading material. I've been trying to read The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul, a Dirk Gently story by Douglas Adams, and I just can't. I loved all the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books, but in this case Adams is just not grabbing me.

So Achievements, a little meh for my taste.

Goals for this week:

Stay on track for Camp NaNoWriMo.

Write another blog post.

Find something good to read.

So, easy enough.

Tomorrow is my first reading with my writing group, so I'm kind of freaked out about that. I'm also supposed to start a new job this week, so a little more anxiety. Let's see if I live through the week. Tune in next Sunday for the exciting return of Achievements/Goals.
